To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY L. FISHER, acitizen of the United States, and aresident of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri,have invented a new and usefulRemovable Coloring-Matter for WashableFabrics, of which the following is a specification.

My composition consists of the following ingredients combined in theproportions stated, viz: acid pink, one ounce; gum-senegal, five ounces;extract fustic, four ounces; gum-arabic, four ounces; 'Ieemans solubleblue,nine ounces; gum-senegal, seven ounces. These ingredients should bethoroughly mingled by agitation.

In using the above-named composition the fabrics to be tinted shouldfirst be freed from soil of every description. The ingredients are to bedissolved in a sufficient quantity of pure clear water, when the fabricsare dipped or rinsed therein. The six ingredients described may be usedin twos, as above indicated, with varying results, as follows-that is,the acid pink and the gum-Senegal when dissolved in a sufficientquantity of water Will produce a pink tint; the next two following thefirst two a yellow tint will be the result; thenext two following thefirst four mentioned a blue tint will be the result; but when I combinethe six ingredients mentioned dissolved in a suitable quantity of waterI can attain a dark or black tint.

i I am aware that the ingredients above described are not new orunknown; but I am not aware that they have ever been usedin theproportions of which I use them and for the purposes herein designated.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is

The combination, comprising acid pink, gum-Senegal dissolved in water,intermingled with extract of fustic, gum-arabic, Teemans soluble blueadded, to be thoroughly mingled with the first three ingredientsmentioned, for tinting textile fabrics, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
